Create your own rain cloud at home🌧️
Clouds and rain can be very mesmerizing for kids! Teach them how clouds work with this low prep STEM activity!
Here are some teaching points to get you going:
💧Rain is created when the sun heats up water on the Earth’s surface causing that water to become water vapor (you can’t see it!)
💧Once the vapor rises, it’ll cool off (think about how cold you get in the rain!)
đź’§All the water vapor lives inside the cloud. Once the cloud gets too heavy with water vapor, raindrops begin to form and drop out of the cloud!
🌧️Try this out: use Twisty Droppers to slowly drip water into the “cloud”. Watch how slow the drips are released from the “cloud”. Now try squeezing the Twisty Droppers a bit more and watch how a stream of water drips out! The magic of pressure 🤩
